I’d rather see this kind of thing than a lot of other ways to deal with the problem. Set up the shop and train the homeless people to make them for others. Being productive and self-sufficient is the best way to move them out of poverty and dependency.

Agree. I contribute to local charity, “Union Gospel Mission,” that houses and feeds homeless people, some of †hem mothers with children. Cleans up their addictions, teaches them about Jesus, love, family, and hope. Trains them to do certain jobs so they can remain clean and sober

Contributed my old car to their used-car lot. When I went in with the Title to the car, young man greeted me: “Hi, I’m John, I’m an alcoholic and the sales manager.”

Bright young man was born to be the sales manager. UGM has the best used car lot in town. Men learn to salesmen, parts department employees and managers, mechanics, whatever.

The more money people contribute the ,more residence buildings they build, people they feed, hopeless cases they rescue. One of their “trained prayer warriors” prayed for my son, a brilliant tech guy who keeps walking out of six-figure jobs to drink. Son is back on track now.

All of those drunk and drugged-out street people were once beautiful children. Pray for them and help get them off the street.

You have a delusion that the homeless want to be productive and independent.

They don't.

They are not capable.

Understand I am talking about the chronically homeless.

They are often nuts or addicts.

There are any number places that will provide temporary assistance and move you out of the "homeless" into productive person category. But the people in these huts are never going to take advantage of them. Because they don't want to.

I ran a freedom house for guys out of prison. Local churches thought i was being mean to them for making them pay rent so they started a free one.....................
